[IRCA] 5-letter call signs

I can think of three right off the bat... XEROK-800  (which everyone within 500 miles of Juarez should be able to get on his/her fillings) XEBJB-570  (logged years ago, but I think it's no longer on the air) XEABC-760  (which I'm still trying for, but XEES keeps getting in the way!)   73, Ric

The good old days have got up and gone. The old XEROK now runs 30kw day and 50kw night if everything is working right. The days of the 150kw Harris transmitter are just a memory. Jerry Kiefer Roswell, NM ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com htt

l that are XE and 4 numbers.  Also I saw at least one on 610 (forget the exact call) that began with XH. Last but not least, I didn't find XEKK when I was searching, but I did find XESHT1. ;) --- On Sun, 4/3/11, Rick Dau wrote: From: Rick Dau Subject: [IRCA] 5-letter call signs To: &q

XEROK used to be a pest up here at over 1,000 miles, but I have not heard it in years here. It is funny how a strong pest can disappear in a decade or so, maybe a couple decades and XEROK was strong in the old days. Patrick Patrick Martin Seaside OR KGED QSL Manager

No wonder I never hear XEROK. For some reason I never realized XEROK was not operating with the same power. I guess I never checked. The same was true with XERF 1570 for years, running about 18 KW if lucky until a few years ago when they boosted to 100 KW, now they are a pest on 1570 that used to b
